Custom Poker Chips Express Your Personality
If you are wondering what custom poker chips are, look closely at the poker chips handed to you by the cage cashier the next time you hit the gaming tables at your favorite casino. Feel the fine texture and see how they stack so well. Examine the chip edge custom color combination and note the high resolution artwork on the inlay, which may contain the logo, casino name and UV security markings. These are sterling examples of custom poker chips specifically designed to make them almost impossible to forge and at the same time serve as highly focused institutional advertisements that would create brand familiarity in the minds of their target market.
While casinos order hard-to-replicate custom poker chips for use as money substitutes in their gaming tables, other commercial companies not engaged in the gaming business also order their own custom poker chips to serve a different purpose - that of promoting the image of the company as corporate give-aways to valued clients. Today's innovative minds are constantly on the prowl for better ways to sell ideas, goods and services and create goodwill. From being a money substitute in casinos and home games, the poker chip had also become an effective advertising medium.
Because of the popularity of poker, an increasing number of poker players are buying their own poker chip sets for use in occasional home games, charity fund raisers and tournaments. For good reason, many poker players have also begun to appreciate the advantages of custom poker chips over the generic chips commonly sold in poker accessories shops. First off, many people see custom poker chips as a way of protecting their home games from poker cheats who usually bring phony chips to cheat unsuspecting poker players. Many people also order custom poker chips as a gift for love ones, special friends and relatives during special occasions.
For those who are considering giving this kind of elegant gift, there is a variety of designs and materials to choose from. There are chips made of composite casino grade material which are a bit expensive and there are metal embedded acrylic chips which are much cheaper. For a little premium above the retail sales price, one can order personalized custom poker chips. But whatever the material and design, a poker enthusiast will definitely appreciate a gift of custom poker chips that expresses a simple yet profound message from the giver. It is a timeless, elegant gift that assures the giver that he will always be remembered by the recipient every time he plays a game of poker.
